Welcome back Bar Giralda!!!

Back at the end of May I wrote this very sad post when I saw that the very best tapa bar in my street had closed. I later heard from the (ex)owner that it was going to reopen again as a tapa bar (not another Starbucks as feared) and I was very pleased to see that it had indeed opened again under new management last week.

Nog and I were finally able to get over there this evening for a tapa dinner and we were delighted to see most of the old staff working there. I was also happy to see that the new owner had repainted the walls creamy-white again (for some reason they were painted a horrid orangy-red last year that seriously clashed with the gorgeous old tiles).

But I digress. . .

Being Sunday evening, the joint was hopping. We finally got a table outside and it felt wonderful to know that we had our Bar Giralda back again. And the ‘new improved’ menu (basically higher prices for the same stuff … but at least it’s the same stuff!) also came with some extra entertainment value as the new English translations had us in stitches. I mean, ‘thousand leaves with pig’ was bad enough, but a variation called ‘thousand leaves if mushrooms’ almost had me on the floor.

Ah well, maybe you had to be there. . .
